'Investigaton into Sim Behavior while Independant'

Monthly Archives: July 2015

So I was watching the house and realized I had no idea where Samarium was… apparently she’d ended up at someone else’s house after school. Probably from one of those ‘can so-and-so go home with what’s-his-face after school?’ prompts.

Anyway I remembered that I still had teen actions I could use, ’cause sending them to prom shouldn’t even count and I don’t care if I used the teen actions. No one’s gonna condemn me for breaking up the little family get-together Sam and Europium have.

Europium: So, er… I was thinking we might want to consider breaking off the romantic stuff and just being friends. And by ‘friends’ I mean ‘cousins’. We’re cousins, Samarium.

Samarium: I can’t believe you’d do this to me, Europium! Do you KNOW how much it’s gonna hurt when I see you at family reunions? Do you?

Europium: Exactly. FAMILY reunions.

Samarium: Whatever. You obviously don’t have a brain if you can’t see what you’re missing out on.

Europium: So… um. Have you read the latest Miss Marvel?

Samarium: Oh. Yeah. It was really good.

Family outing to the pool was uneventful.

Except that Samarium refused to go and instead danced her heartbreak away.

An imaginary friend contacted us.

*sprays holy water at it*

I just get worried when the Imaginary Friends are like ‘HEY WE’RE FUNCTIONING LIKE NORMAL SIMS’ because that tells me something’s up with the game. : /

Other things that tell me something’s up with the game: Cerium drinking coffee for four hours. It wasn’t her day to be controlled but I finally had to cancel the interaction.

The four hours of coffee didn’t even have any effect, so she passed out after work. Glorious.

Zombie: *dies again*

Elderly zombies are the worst.

Cerium: Hey, guys! It’s my birthday! Guys? Guys??

Arnold: Oh no, the poor zombie!

June: So tragic. : (

Samarium: Hey, why doesn’t anyone care about MY tragedy???

Cerium: Guys?? Doesn’t anyone want to burst into my bedroom and blow noisemakers for an hour???

Death: IT IS SO NICE TO BE HERE. I RARELY GET TO COME TO BIRTHDAYS.

Other Zombie: I know someone’s dying and it’s sad and stuff, but OMIGOD IT’S WREN.

Cerium: … guys?

No, Silver. Not gonna happen.

Then Arnold had a birthday because his fairy lifespan is WAY too long.

Silver: WOOOO! Yeah! The older you get, the closer you are to dying and coming to ME, stud muffin. 😉

June: … my hair is broken.

Europium started a painting.

It will never be finished.

And then it was Samarium’s birthday!

Aging up in a huge puddle in the bathroom.

Samarium: Aren’t I gorgeous?

Yes, now get out of the house and stop hitting on family members.

I gave Europium a bit of an early birthday the next day. I have no idea which TH is supposed to be on which day and I’ve been wanting to have a new house for a while now, but thought I’d wait for Europium to take over.

His final trait is never nude. : P

I changed his hair so it would be consistent with the top hat he has on for formalwear.

Promethium: … now can you please get out of my room? It’s almost midnight.

TA DA.

I think Promethium’s nose is a bit softer than his dad’s, but that’s pretty much it.

Arnold: … I always knew you would replace me.

Sam: Wait what.

Barium: Now that you’re a young adult, perhaps you would like to take up photography?

Promethium: … I don’t take life advice from people with bowls stuck to their appendages.

Samarium: Why am I still here.

Samarium: Woo! I’m past tired and into DELIRIOUS tired!

Promethium: Please leave.

… I thought that wish to marry Arnold at first.

Samarium: … why are you cooking when you could just grab some pie.

Promethium: Pie isn’t breakfast food.

Samarium: Two AM isn’t breakfast, it’s a midnight snack.

HAVE YOU NOT SLEPT YET?

… you are not a good role model.

DAMMIT SAM.

Sam: I also need to pee.

WHOA WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?

Promethium: … what is your dad doing?

Europium: Just don’t make eye contact.

DAMMIT.

Europium: Neo, what if there’s a clown hiding in our house?

Neo: This house is full of clowns. And none of them are hiding.

This family.

… why are you in your wedding dress?

Cerium: I’m going to renew my vows with Arnold.

That’s not an interaction in this game.

Cerium: Then I guess I can go to my son’s graduation.

Ooh! Graduation means that everyone’s in their formal. I can show you how cute Europium looks in his…

… tuxedo.

The legacy lives on.

I thought this was going to be a disaster until I remembered we had a motive mobile.

Coolie oolies.

Wait, Ellie???

Actually is from another sim family. I was too lazy to make the mom of the family so I just plucked Ellie out of the bin and changed her name and stuff.

Look, it’s the girl we briefly kidnapped. : P

Andromeda: Don’t make eye contact…

Apparently the stress of nearly being a legacy spouse has caused her to begin going bald.

Promethium: Guess who has two thumbs and just graduated!!

Wren: … we don’t actually register as being related after the move, so this bores me.

… I checked, and if I wanted we could actually ‘keep it in the family’ with the way the relationships between the cousins are. Not that I would, but the ‘no incest’ block that’s normally in place doesn’t seem to be there.

… are you going to change out of your dress, Cerium?

Cerium: … not as long as I can still fit in it.

Europium gets a pass because this is fainting from cowardice. Apparently there was a monster under the bed.

The cell phone woke him up.

Europium: No, I am not going to run around town finding semi-precious stones for you. Never call me again, or my eyebrows will find you, and I can’t be held accountable for what they do to you.

I’ve been playing this for years and I still come across things I don’t think I’ve seen before. Someone was playing the horror channel on the TV and it scared Europium.

Samarium aged up as a teen and she’s… flirty? I think that’s right.

At first I was like ‘ugh, that hair has to change.’

And then I thought.

No.

NO.

It must never change.

Samarium: … is my hair even possible?

Europium: Tell your fairy friends I’m not going to Neverland.

Tinkerbell: *sad twinkle sound*

Samarium: MOM! There’s a weird llama fantasizing about Neo at the door!

Europium grew up proper.

Europium: Father, it is not proper birthday protocol to eat hot dogs when the cake has been set out, and certainly not with a bowl attached to your hand.
